I posted this on Running Room forum. I am more positive that I can make the 42 km run. 🙂 Let’s the training begin. I just map out a 15 km route around my area. It goes down Credit River and goes to Dundas and back up. Will give it a try today after work.On Sunday I did a 30 km run. That is the furthest I have ever gone. That almost kill me. My legs were sore for the past two days. Also, the...
I was just looking over my training schedule. I think I am overtraining myself. This would explain my struggle on Sunday doing 30 km. My body wasn’t ready for it. My first week I was doing 50 km a week. This week I should be doing 83.5 km a week. That’s a lot to increase in 4 weeks. I am going to change my plan a bit. More long runs in the 25 km range. Build my base level that way...
When training and diet become a burden. As much as I enjoy training. As much as I enjoy keeping a strict diet. There are times where both become more of a burden. How do I now when they become a burden? Well, whe the first feeling I feel when I think about my next run becomes negative. Becomes “oh man, another run.” That’s the sign that I am overtrain. Not overtrain my body. But...

A change of direction, a change of pace. Two events happened today. I talked to Ed. He started raving about how everyone on the net can lie and don’t know what they are talking about. At first, I took it very offensive as the running room forum () have runners who have trained and ran a number of marathons. Here he is, whom have hurt his knees from running, discrediting these people. I do...
